Buckingham Palace has rejected a request to return the remains of Prince Alemayehu, an Ethiopian prince, to his home country according to BBC. The prince was taken from Ethiopia to the United Kingdom when he was only 7 years old, following a battle between the British and Ethiopians. He spent the rest of his life in the UK, gaining favor with Queen Victoria, who arranged for him to receive a top education. After his death at the age of 18 from pleurisy, he was buried at Windsor Castle. Recently, his descendants requested that his remains be sent back to Ethiopia, stating that it was "not right" for him to be buried in the UK.
